Silent Installation

A silent or unattended installation is when you run the setup program with a list of command line parameters and no user interaction. It is used to automate or simplify the installation when distributing the software.

The parameters or command line switches to control the silent installation are all listed at this link:

/SILENT and /VERYSILENT are the most used. If you have read the EULAs and want to hide them during installation, you can use the /ACCEPT_EULA, described at the link above.

Here is an example of a fully automated installation:

setup.exe /SILENT /ACCEPT_EULA

The silent installation will download the prerequisites from the Internet unless you have placed them in the same folder as the setup.

Reverse the page order

The PDF printer does not support the back-to-front page order option in the Windows printing dialog. However, if you are printing to PDF and need to print the pages from back to front, you can reverse the page order by running an additional tool after the PDF is created.

After successfully creating the PDF, you can configure the PDF printer to run a command line. Therefore, you can find a command line tool online to reverse your page order and run it after the PDF is created.

Scaling the PDF print

The default printer driver used with the Bullzip PDF Printer does not support scaling of the printed content. If you want to scale the output, you should replace the used driver with a driver that supports scaling.

The HP Universal Printing PS driver supports scaling and can be used with the Bullzip PDF Printer.

After installing the HP Universal Printing PS driver, you can switch the driver in the Windows dialog for advanced properties for the printer.

Changing the driver will also change the name of the printer. Make sure you go back to the general tab and change the name back before you press OK.

Next time you print to the printer, the Windows printing dialog will bring up the driver specific dialog with the HP features. Click More settings when you print to open the driver extra features.

Under More settings, you can change the scaling.
